ASC needs a utility like speed fan for us to monitor cpu temp fan speeds etc. Maybe even an option to display it in the performance monitor?

It would be nice if SD had a drive health section where users could monitor long term drive performance, pull up drive health statistics and smart data reports.

Hi TJB1982, that's good news to hear. :)
To help us look into this issue further, please go to Settings and select Browser Cleaner and take screenshots of your settings for this tool. (esp. settings for Google Chrome) to send to us for checking.
Thank you.
Thank you Cicely.
The settings are at default except I have the box ticked to use privacy sweep settings. Privacy settings are also default.

Hi TJB1982, sorry for all the inconvenience. Have you got your flash player working again?
an you please help us do another test? Please go to Settings and click Browser Cleaner, then please tick the option "Use the same settings in Privacy Sweep", click Apply and OK.
Then please run Chrome as usual and exit it. Please click Clean Now to see whether flash player gets broken again.
If it does, please take screenshots showing error message of flash broken to send to us for checking.

Thanks a million.
Yes I got flash player working again :). I also checked the "Use the same settings in Privacy Sweep" box and ran the browser cleaner and that did not break flash again. Also when flash was broken it was just in chrome flash still worked in IE etc.

I use/am testing IObit Advanced System Care 8 beta 1, DriverBooster 2 Beta 1, and SmartDefrag 3.
I think future versions of products should get rid of the "action center". Allow people to install what they want. The link to other IObit freeware within settings tab (like their already is in ASC) is enough. I find Action Center in ASC annoying as I don't want to install Startmenu8 or MalwareFighter. I use Classic Shell because it offers a classic start menu, which I prefer, and startmenu8 does not offer that. I use Malwarebytes Antimalware and it has saved my computer in the past so am sticking with it. Action center tells me to "fix all problems" but I don't want to. Should not force this upon users. No action center in final version of ASC8 please!
I also think it would be better if SmartDefrag and DriverBooster were included in Advanced SystemCare. Have 1 product for performance and a separate product for protection/security. It can get time consuming running each program separately. People just want a 1 click fix for their computers to speed them up. Installing and running all these programs separately is time consuming. Also having all products installed "litters" the start menu. Like all different IObit programs are scattered in different places in the startmenu - creates unnecessary clutter - would be better if their was a folder called IObit Software that linked to each program.
In ASC8 beta 1, I tried using ActiveOptimize and TurboBoost. I noticed a definite speed up in my PC even without having these settings on. My question is do I need to run ASC on startup so that activeoptimize and turbo boost are activated? I have ASC not to launch with startup as I don't want it to slow my bootup time. Is having activeoptimize and turbo boost on the whole time a good idea? I've already had a definite speed up of my PC even without using these 2 settings.
SmartDefrag 3 prioritize files is very slow. It annoys me - I run it and it takes ages. Finally when it finishes I run it again and expecting the 2nd time to run would be quicker, but takes nearly the same amount of time to finish as the first! Is it trying to move every single file into a better position?? That is unncessary. Even if my computer had 95% optimization level I would be happy. Trying to move every single file is too time consuming for no real performance gain. I expect SmartDefrag 4 will be faster and will only move files it deems necessary for better performance.
As far as the Prioritize files defrag goes the purpose of that defrag is to take your most commonly used programs/games to the beginning of you hard drive so they will load faster. It is not necessary to prioritize every time you run defrag. It is simply meant to give a performance boost for conventional HDDs. I usually only run the prioritize defrag once a week or so and do the regular defrag in between if needed.

I also noticed that Driver Booster does not look for or download the "legacy" physx software. Some older games (Alice Madness Returns) need Legacy Physx software. It can also help the performance of newer software that utilizes physx as well :). The newer games designed with Physx do not state the need for legacy but as a gamer I have noticed the benefits of having both installed.

This was originally posted by Sunny Staines but want to put it here as an extra safeguard.
"How to Fix F8 For Safe Mode in Windows 8
With Windows 8, Microsoft updated the standard boot menu policy to include the new Modern UI recovery environment. They also reduced the amount of time Windows waits for an interrupt in the boot sequence to nearly nothing. To get that classic F8 behavior back we need to restore the legacy boot menu policy. To do this, hit the Win + X keyboard combination and launch and elevated command prompt
"command prompt [admin]"
When the command prompt opens, run the following:
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy
That’s really all there is to it. Now, when your computer boots up, you can mash the F8 key to view the classic Advanced Boot Options.
If you want to return the boot menu back to normal, you can use this command:
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy standard"

I would also like to recommend that as an alternative having one standard color for the ASC 8 UI that we get a full range color slider so we can make it whatever color/shade suits us best. With transparency would be nice. Also if we could use a picture as the background for the interface if we so desired would be great as well. Many users like to be able to fully customize their PC's and programs. It would be awesome to see ASC 8 offer us that flexibility. If image resolutions would cause a problem could their be a utility to format them to the correct resolution to be compatible with the UI?

ASC needs a utility like speed fan for us to monitor cpu temp fan speeds etc. Maybe even an option to display it in the performance monitor?
